Algeria’s Army Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Said Chengriha, supervised a live-fire military drill near the Moroccan border on Thursday, according to state television.
The exercise, titled Fortress Impregnable 2025, took place in the Tindouf region and involved units from the operational sector south of Tindouf. These were supported by forces from various military branches and weapon systems.
General Chengriha’s visit to the Third Military Region began on Wednesday as part of efforts to oversee the combat readiness programme for the 2024–2025 training year.
During the visit, Chengriha delivered a guidance address to all military units in the region, which was broadcast widely.
In his remarks, he highlighted the importance of holding tactical exercises, describing them as an essential way to assess the combat readiness of personnel and their proficiency with modern weapons and equipment.
He further stressed the need for full coordination between military efforts, available resources, and personnel to ensure the protection of Algeria’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens.
